Commitment by BP Gregory

Lovely Tiffany can hear the folk upstairs, and wistfully recalls when she and her boyfriend were just like that.

Unfortunately, when the racket turns more violent it's still just as she remembers. But what, exactly, does she remember?

Commitment, a short story (2,065 words), evolved out of many evenings in a thin-walled apartment, chewing over old grievances and obsessions until they assumed grotesque proportions.

The author was always fascinated by what could be contained in a brief moment. If you fancy something longer by BP Gregory try science fiction Automatons, horror Only Skin, or even a bunch of short stories mashed together in Cacophony.

BP Gregory was always the sort of oddment who felt compelled to pick things apart, especially the most awful things; to justify why he might have said this, or she must have done that.Of her books, Automatons is intended for adult readers of apocalyptic disaster, allowing decently repressed behaviour to blossom rotten and rank. Written as a youthful love-tribute to the city and its surrounds, melancholic horror story Only Skin is BP Gregory's second published novel.BP Gregory's short piece What a View, a foray into the obsessive and dangerous world of billboard advertising, is available in print as part of Cardigan Press' wonderful collection All Change Please.For further information or content, including short stories to read for free, visit the house: http://www.popgoesthebrainstem.com.
